Safari Reviews & Testimonials

Tanya was an absolute delight to deal with. From the first phone call she was extremely polite, professional and very eager to facilitate my requests regarding our safari.

Our 3 nights at the V & A Hotel were fabulous and Motswari Game reserve was very nice also. All flights taken with the safari package were great. On arrival at both Cape Town and Hoedspruit airports we were met for our transfer by very warm and friendly people who were more than eager to impart their local knowledge on us.

The game viewing on our drive to Motswari was some of the best we encountered whilst staying there. Would certainly recommend and utilise Discover Africa again. Many thanks Tanya for a memorable trip.

This was my first safari. I didn’t expect to be so pampered. Everything was first class. We had everything provided for us before even asking. We had a dedicated team at our service. Megan was on call whenever we needed something and she would always check on us along the way. We felt very well taken care of on all fronts.

I just wanted to thank Discover Africa and Karl Svendsen – the safari was great – we saw many more animals than expected including cheetah, leopard, many lions and even a three-day old elephant calf. Additionally, we had our own hippo outside our cottage! Lovely setting and landscape and very nice people at the lodge.

We had the most wonderful time in Tanzania. We left yesterday and miss it already. We saw the big 5 and felt super lucky to see the lions and leopard with their kill. Our guide was also wonderful.

Thank YOU for planning our trip of a lifetime, every part of it was just perfect. I already have many friends asking me about this trip and I will be sure to send them to Karl at Discover Africa. Thank you again for planning my best vacation yet.

Thank you for the way you organised the trip for us. It was a pleasure dealing with Discover Africa and Matthys in particular. From start to finish, everything was simple and easy. Our trip has been tremendous and we would fully recommend anyone planning a safari trip to Africa to use Discover Africa.

Working with Megan from Discover Africa to set up our safari was a breeze. She managed to get us to all of the locations we wanted to get to and the camps we wanted to visit. She was incredibly responsive and helped us with any questions or problems we had. (Don’t forget to find somewhere to store your hard sided suitcases when you switch to duffel bags!).

All of the Sanctuary Lodges blew our expectations out of the water. Our tracker Sky at Chief’s Camp was amazing and we spent four hours one day tracking down a rhino until we finally managed to see it making our trip complete! The staff at all of the Sanctuary camps were incredible and being able to go in either private or small groups (4 total people) game tracking made the experience infinitely better.

My only advice to fellow travellers would be to try to take a day trip to see Victoria Falls from the Chobe area instead of going to a camp in Zambia. We found the Botswana national parks to be an overall much better experience than those of Zambia.

Our two-week honeymoon to South Africa, Zambia and Mozambique went off without a hiccup. Throughout the process, Discover Africa was extremely prompt and responsive with any questions we had. When we initially booked our trip, Discover Africa provided recommendations and trip ideas to fit within our budget. We recommend using this company.

We worked with Alice to plan the safari portion of our South Africa trip. Alice was wonderful to work with. She was very helpful with finding two safari locations within our budget. We considered both Botswana and South Africa, and she provided some great insight into each area.

The vacation she planned went so smoothly! We were very impressed. The safari lodges and hotel in Johannesburg were excellent. I would definitely plan another safari through this company.

Matthys was so diligent responding my questions. This is the best experience I’ve had with an agency helping me plan a trip. I would definitely recommend you to my friends!!! Five stars!!

Thank you for arranging such a lovely safari tour of Botswana. We had a great trip and the logistics went very smoothly. I will be recommending you and Botswana to my friends. Thank you again.

I am copying Megan in case she is back from maternity leave (congrats Megan!). We are having an absolutely WONDERFUL trip. It has far exceeded our expectations!

Everything has been perfect, the accommodations, transport, tours, etc. We thought Buffalo Camp was amazing, but Kirkman’s Kamp is even better! Goes without saying we would highly recommend our friends book though you!

Everyone was so helpful in making the arrangements. The booking people helped in all the questions we had, they were polite and helpful. The tour and lodge were amazing. Everyone was helpful and very interesting to talk to. They made our stay homey and welcoming.
